Western leaders are ‘infantile morons’ – Medvedev

Via RT

The US and its allies need a reminder of the nuclear risk posed by the Ukraine conflict, Dmitry Medvedev believes

The US, the UK, France and other Western nations should take a Russian nuclear drill as a reminder of where escalation of the Ukraine conflict could take them, former President Dmitry Medvedev has said.

On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced an imminent exercise to test the capability to deploy non-strategic nuclear weapons. It said the training was ordered by President Vladimir Putin after “provocative statements and threats” by Western officials.

Medvedev, who serves as deputy head of the Russian Security Council, referred to debates in the West about possible deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine, as well as “active encouragement [of Kiev] to use [Western] missile weapons against the entire Russian territory” as grounds for the drill.

Russia “will have to respond” to the proposed deployment of Western soldiers, “and this response will not be” in Ukraine, the Russian official warned. In that case “there will be no hiding on Capitol Hill, in the Elysee Palace or at 10 Downing Street.”

The situation is comparable to the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, according to Medvedev. He said current Western elites were “infantile morons” who refuse to see the risk, unlike US President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, who managed to walk back the escalation six decades ago.

French President Emmanuel Macron has been advocating “strategic ambiguity” regarding Ukraine, maintaining that he could not exclude deployment of troops to the country under certain conditions. Multiple Western leaders said they had no intention to send their soldiers to fight Russia on Ukraine’s behalf, after he voiced his idea in February.

Macron’s rhetoric may be explained by his ambition to make France the leader among EU members, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has suggested.

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron told Reuters last week that Kiev “has the right” to use British-provided missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia.

For years, major Western arms donors were reportedly conditioning their aid on Kiev’s pledge not to use the weapons outside of the territory that it claims. US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said American policy remained unchanged following Cameron’s remark.

On Sunday, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claimed that “there’s a significant likelihood that America will have to get into the conflict – not simply with our money, but with our servicewomen and our servicemen” in the event of Ukrainian defeat.

A victorious Russia would pose a threat to NATO, he reasoned during an interview with CBS News, repeating the case for continued aid made by the Biden administration for months. Moscow has said it has no intention of starting a direct conflict with the US-led military bloc.

DO YOU KNOW ANYONE ALIVE…IN A HURRY TO DIE ONCE THEY EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY OF “LIVING” ON THIS PLANET???
WHERE DID THIS “DEATH MADNESS” ORIGINATE???
RESEARCH THE “HELLENIST” ORIGINS!
REMEMBER THE SONG “LIVE & LET DIE” AND WHO WROTE IT…AND EVEN MADE A MOVIE ABOUT IT???
UNDERSTAND: “HEAVEN” IS NOT A PLACE IN THE BLUE SKY…OR IN SPACE…AND HEAVEN CAN ONLY EXPERIENCED IF ONE IS “ALIVE”!!!

Romans 3 (ESV)
No One Is RighteousWhat then? Are we Jews[a] any better off?[b] No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 
    no one understands;
    no one seeks for God.
12 
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
    no one does good,
    not even one.”
13 
“Their throat is an open grave;
    they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 
    “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 
    in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 
and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 
    “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being[c] will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

The Bible says,”But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned.” “For The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.”
A man who is not one of Gods chosen and elect is incapable of understanding spiritual things. All he knows is what he can physically see with his eyes. He doesn’t even perceive a spiritual dimension.

The real issue, is not that western leaders are morons, that is obvious. The real issue is that the democratic process is broken. The US is a perfect example.
Congress was never intended to be leaders, they were intended to be representatives. What that means is that Congressmen and Senator’s do not make decisions, they are there to advocate for the decisions made by their constituent’s. Your representatives are supposed to meet with their districts and take local elections to decide issues, and then to advocate for those decisions made by the voters in Congress.
In short, Congress needs its wings clipped. We need to pass legislation that mandate’s that any bill voted on in Congress that involves spending tax payers money, or impacts freedoms or criminal legal issues for Citizens must be voted on in each and every Congressional District, and that those elections must be binding upon the elected Representatives.

In those schools that *may* still teach civics and government, how do they reconcile those courses with economics based on centralized control with the additional burden of a parasitic private banking system?

That is not the way our system was ever meant to work. What you advocate (and apparently think was always intended) is basically pure democracy. The founders were not uniform or monolithic in ideology or opinion, but they all agreed that what you’re promoting just plain sucks.

You are totally wrong. That is exactly how our system was designed to work. How does someone get as completely uninformed as you obviously are? Ok, time for a history lesson.
When the country was originated, the Congress was not even a full time institution. Every Congressman and Senator was readily accessible to every Citizen. Hell, you could walk up to the door of the White House and give the President a piece of your mind if you had the inclination to do so.
If your representatives did not vote to represent the people in their districts, they faced those people face to face and were subject to direct retaliation, which was sometimes violent.
This is clearly not the system we have today. Congressional members believe they were elected to be feudal masters and vote based on bribery, and not the will of the people. We can all see the result of that system. It has quite literally ruined the country.
If Congress will not honor the Constitution, and the will of the people, then it must be forced to do so, because the alternative is revolution and Civil War.
Like I said, being given a choice of dictators does in no way shape or form constitute a Democracy, or a democratic system. You can only have a Democracy when the Representatives represent the will of the people.

Find proof of even one atomic detonation as they claimed it.

The only way to get a big badaboom out of uranium is by bonding it to oxygen instead of fluoride, dispersing it into a large air column and igniting it with a large explosion or spark.

Guess what?
A fuel air uranium explosion would make a big mushroom cloud and have a bunch of radioactive fallout.

The implosion/gun methods might make a similar sized blast, but would have been very difficult to pull off..if at all.

My guess? They might get 1 out of 100 attempts at pulling either type of detonation off.
Especially with the tech of the 40s.

Belief in the earth being flat is living in the land of idiocy.

The idea can only exist in the minds of those who fail to grasp the electromagnetic math which explains eveything in the universe.
